Antioch, CA Special Events & Permits: Parade Permits (2026)

01 defines a PARADE as any march or procession of people, animals, or vehicles on a public street, sidewalk, or alley that does not comply with normal traffic and safety regulations, and a MOTORCADE as an organized procession of 25 or more vehicles, excluding funeral processions. 04 requires the application at least 14 days before the event, listing the organizer's contact information, purpose, date, assembly and disbanding points, route, and a description of floats, vehicles, bands, and any sound amplification equipment. 05, the Chief of Police must issue the permit once the applicant agrees to the conditions, unless the parade would substantially disrupt traffic, would require diverting so many officers that the city loses reasonable police protection, conflicts with an already-permitted parade, or the application contains false or incomplete information.

06 lets the Chief attach conditions covering the assembly area and time, starting time, minimum and maximum speeds, route, which part of the street may be used, and the maximum number of units and their spacing. 10.
